1. Review of 147gr FP 9mm Coated Bayou Bullet

   I recently bought 1,000 coated bullets to test against a batch of 1,000 SNS 147 gr Flat Point bullets. I reload my ammunition and for these two bullets I used the Lee Deluxe Die set with my Dillon press.
   
   As it relates to reloading, the Bayou Bullet has proven to be much easier to reload. I believe the configuration of the bullet - as opposed to the SNS bullet - lends itself to that result and the coating on the coated bullet seems to hold up to the process with better results. No adjustments were made on any of the settings.
   
   The shooting experience at this point is the same, although 800 rounds of SNS have been fired and only 100 of the Bayou bullets. Time will tell but I believe the results to be basically the same.
   
   I would like to try the 150 gr SWC configuration given extreme success with LSWC's in the past for 9mm. The challenge may be finding good load data. I have also used the 230 RN Coated Bayou Bullets for .45 caliber with extreme success. The accuracy was dead on. Unknown on 8th Jul 2014

   A really good looking projectile, the RED/COPPER HI-TEK coatings finish is smooth too. Jack Mullen on 30th Jun 2014
